Infectious Diseases and HIV Conference

The human micro biome contains trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms that colonize different body sites, especially the gut. This meeting provides an overview of the composition, functions, and factors determining the diversity of this vast ecosystem, including dietary, lifestyle, genetic, and environmental exposures.

Participants will hear about how a balance among microbes means disease and how its disruption can precipitate disease and much more. Science has rapidly accrued evidence that the micro biome is important for several physiological processes including digestion, metabolism, immune regulation, and defense against pathogens it focuses on the gut micro biome as an influence on inflammation, obesity, diabetes, allergic conditions, and autoimmune diseases.

The session covers how microbial communities might impact the outcome of a treatment such as antibiotics and immunotherapies. Between the micro biome and infectious diseases, research is very dynamic.

This session will describe the ways that the micro biome could affect susceptibility to infections, the course of infectious diseases, and the outcome of treatment.For example, some of the gut micro biota can enhance host immunity to pathogens, and symbiosis has been shown to contribute to increased susceptibility to infection with Clostridium difficult.

Presently, one can anticipate the great possibilities that the modulation of the micro biome can offer in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. Interest in probiotics, live helpful bacteria, and prebiotics, substrates that promote beneficial bacteria, has increased over the last decade through their potential to promote health.

This session will cover the evidence for probiotics and prebiotics in gastrointestinal disorders and respiratory infections and potentially mental health, stepping through current recommendations, issues in standardization of products, and how a more personalized approach to micro biome-based therapies is much-needed.

The field of micro biome research is changing fast. With new technologies like met genomics and metabolomics, the engagement of microbial communities enhances our understanding.

This session will consider some future directions: the role that micro biome may play in precision medicine, the type of use it may provide in vaccine development, and the implications of micro biome research for public health.

Join us to discover what is exciting in the world of human micro biome and its deep impact on health and disease as well as the future of medical interventions.
